As a 32-year-old who recently moved back in with her parents to finish school, I found the show, Girls, to be very realistic. I understand the struggle of trying to transition into the "real" world despite being paid crap money at a job that doesn't appreciate me. I understand hang a larger waistline; I understand feeling like I have something important to say if I could only figure out what it was; I understand sitting with your girlfriends in the bathroom talking, despite how weird that must seem to most guys. It all felt very real to me.

I have read a lot of the criticisms of this show but haven't paid them any attention. This show, like thousands of others, fails to diversify it's cast, or whatever... I suppose I should care, but I really don't. What I care about is the honesty of the characters they ARE portraying. I see myself in those characters and for that I appreciate the story they're trying to tell here. For what it's worth, I'll definitely continue watching.
